"Hello
It s a very good cd from an exallent udi player. This music is like greek "rebetiko". "Hasaposerviko" is a popular greek dance. Probably some items of armenian music "survived" in Greek music.
If you like udi buy it. Thanks for your time"

"Rarely today will anyone hear such mastery of an instrument as difficult as the oud. This recording has both the beauty and clarity that one wants from such an instrument and the excitement one expects from dance music. As and American-born Assyrian/Armenian I was transported to times and places of my youth that involved weddings, picnics and other such moments of great joyousness shared with those not with us anymore. You will not be disappointed whether World Music is your thing or nostalgia for another time and place is important to you."
